DeadFingers' Castellan of Hell Pit

• Ghoritch is now a Legendary Lord with his own custom skill tree.
  
• Unlock Ghoritch's potential with the skill "Throt's Ultimate Creation", giving him new skills, access to the Flesh Laboratory and a third arm with a flamethrower attack!
  
• Unleash the power of the Nine Circles of Hell Pit with 5 Regiments of Renown, 2 Legendary Heroes and 2 Legendary Lords:
  
  1. Skaron, Guardian of the Gates. A powerful wizard wielding a custom lore of magic and the capacity to summon a mighty Verminlord into battle.
     
  2. Marcheek (and Zul'Bor), Warden of the Second Circle. A twisted Master Mutator fused to a Doombull, a melee powerhouse that buffs those around him.
     
  3. The Failed Prototypes. A Mutant Rat Ogre RoR, Throt's previous attempts at transplanting a brain.
     
  4. The Wererats. A Wolf Rat RoR with a terrible secret.
     
  5. The Scarred. A Rat Ogre RoR, Hell Pit's arena champions, featuring drills for hands.
     
  6. Griskit, Lord of the Sludge. One of the Lords of Hell Pit, in charge of the Sixth Circle. This sick sadist oversees the battlefield atop his bat, Clatterjaw, always looking for new test subjects.
     
  7. The Wailing. A Hell Pit Abomination RoR, a walking reminder to all Packmasters to never disappoint their superiors.
     
  8. Scarskrex, Overseer of the Eighth Circle. One of the Lords of Hell Pit, this Master Mutator possesses many devastating abilities and can bolster allies or weaken foes.
     
  9. The Twin Cyclopean Giants. A Cygor RoR, these two dispose of Clan Moulder's rejected experiments by hurling them at the Clan's enemies, with explosive results.

• You WILL need my VFX mod for the custom spell and ability effects to show up. They just need to be different mods, don't ask me why.
  
• Spending a point on Ghoritch's "Throt's Ultimate Creation" will technically kill him, but you're able to recruit him again instantly. Do this at the end of a turn, you'll be prompted to replace the now missing Ghoritch, the new one will be there around the bottom of the list, albeit at a lower level. At the start of the next turn he'll level back up.
  
• The RoRs, Heroes and Lords can be unlocked through the tech tree once you've spent a point on "Throt's Ultimate Creation"
  
• If you're not using a mod that gives you a higher level cap and/or more skill points, you can ignore Ghoritch's vanilla red skill line. You've got all you need for Moulder goodness in his custom skills.

• Custom VFX for Skaron's spells.
  
• Custom textures for some units.
  
• Some extras for Moulder's Menagerie.

• Skaron's 3D porthole on campaign shows nothing.
  
• Griskit's 3D porthole in battle doesn't show Clatterjaw.
  
• Ghoritch's flamethrower attack has some aiming issues. At the moment this can be circumvented by re-assigning a target.
  
• The UI popup after the Whip of Domination quest battle that announces Ghoritch's arrival shows a random name.

This mod changes the vanilla script to spawn Ghoritch after Throt's quest battle. It'll conflict with any mods that do the same, if there are any out there.

As for other Skaven mods, I've tested it with plenty of them and have found no issues so far. This includes the various Moulder mods such as ChaosRobie's Moulder's Menagerie, as well as the Minor Clan Mods. At least Skurvy, Ferrik and Volkn. Other than that, it should be compatible with a lot of other mods.

That said, if you're using a mod that adds more technologies to the Skaven tech tree, please use this compatibility mod to avoid any potential issues. This includes Clan Vrrtkin, since the techs added in that mod and mine overlap.

If you're using SFO, here's a compatibility mod by HashutChampion.

It appears there's a conflict with Legendary Lore that causes my version of Ghoritch not to spawn, spawning vanilla Ghoritch instead. I'll see what I can do about this, but in the meantime, be advised.


For the complete Moulder experience:

• Skweel Gnawtooth, by yours truly
  
• ChaosRobie's Moulder's Menagerie
  
• Dilaguna's Augmented Rat Ogres or his compilation mod
  
• Stiginge-oy's Flayerkin
  
• DAN's Trolls for Clan Moulder
  
• Advice's Master Moulders and Apprentice Packmasters

Consider using NeonDracoz's 2 Skill points - Max level 50 mod and/or sm0kin and Drunk Flamingo's One Button Respec for your convenience.

Some of my other mods:

• If you'd like to have the model for three-armed Ghoritch without any of the extra stuff, I have the mod for you.
  
• Does the red instability overlay over the unit cards bother you? Use this to make it slightly better.
  
• Add some Moulder spice to your Ogre Mercenaries by letting them use the Flesh Lab.

Every character and unit in this mod is described in, or inspired by, the lore for Hell Pit that Games Workshop released alongside the very same army list that introduced Ghoritch.

This mod wouldn't have been possible without the assistance of the good folks over at Da Modding Den Discord.

The custom models were made using h3ro's Asset Editor.

Custom textures for Scarskrex's Twisted Hybrids's claw arms by The_Inquisitor.


You can play as any Clan and get all of this mod's goodies by confederating Moulder. AI Moulder gets the Lord version of Ghoritch too. I have not tested it with every modded Clan, but it should work with most of them too. If there's a Clan out there that isn't compatible, please inform me and I'll see what I can do.

Currently, the only units from Moulder mods not affected by skill buffs are the Stormfiends and Chimaerats from ChaosRobie's Moulder's Menagerie. This will be addressed in a submod shortly. Other units/mods, like the Giant Rats and others from the same mod, Dilaguna's Augmented Rat Ogres or Stig's Flayerkin already benefit from skill buffs, even if the text does not show it.
